This announcement is a promise and a threat

Hey, all of you, cool cats and kittens. Did you know that today is the one year anniversary from when Tiger King was it unleashed on all of our silent and unsuspecting “two weeks” quarantines? Netflix is celebrating the monumental occasion in a way that looks like they threw the whole internet on a Slap-Chop and mixed this shit up, and we consider that to be the biggest compliment: with a live drag-queen TikTok musical adaptation. Netflix tweeted a poster for “Tiger Queens: The Tiger King Musical LIVE on TikTok” starring RuPaul’s Drag Race former students Kim Chi as Carole Baskin, Heidi N Closet as “The Tiger” and – in the most brilliant and flawless casting decision we’ve ever seen – Willam as Joe Exotic. There is no word yet on whether they will feature original music or just selections from Joe Exotic’s pop catalog. “Tiger Queens” will be broadcast live on Netflix’s TikTok account on Sunday, March 28th, so you have a week to prepare yourself mentally.
